A place where people with an inadequate education and no access to a good paying job still think they could be rich someday. (The primary reason there is such a thing as LOTTO - keep the illusion alive.) It is, so far as I know, the only country who has ever cut taxes while waging an endless war. The utter lunacy of such a policy is hard to grasp, though it serves the war profiteers to a "T".
How this country got so completely off the rails is one of the puzzles of history. Why anyone would ever think of voting for people whose leadership is so appallingly bad (fuck, whose ability with basic math is so appallingly bad) is another.
You really wonna know what got a america off the rails? You have a military industrial complex that is basically the tail wagging the dog.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
